Morphology
The meaning 'a cell that forms the skin' is directly and compositionally derived from 'skin' (the body's external covering) + 'cell' (microscopic living unit). This noun-noun compound follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern (e.g., 'célula de la piel', 'cellule de peau') and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The word skin cell comes from the simple image of tiny cells that make up the skin, like little building blocks covering your body. So a skin cell today means 'one of the tiny living parts' of your skin.
